Default cam change??

When removing the cam do I have to disconnect the AC condensor or (hopefully) can I unbolt it and tilt it forward?? Also whats the best way to remove the valvesprings, with air in the chamber to hold them up or I was told I could use a piece of rope in the combustion chamber and bring up the piston to hold the valve up??????

the condensor should unbolt and come out with the radiator for the most work space.

you dont have to pull the condensor. will def give you more room but not necessary. pull the radiator of course but when i did mine i was able to tilt the condensor to where the corner rested on the abs unit. I had somebody hold it to make sure it didnt move and slid the cam in. I believe it shows this or something similar on shbox
